That’s why you need to get yourself some extra batteries. This is either a lot or very little, depending on what your needs are – but it is highly inconvenient to have to keep charging for an hour every 10 minutes just to stay in the air! The DJI website advertises 15 minutes of flight time, but in real world conditions, you would expect between 10 to 12 minutes. The standalone Spark comes with just one battery. Pairing the remote to your Spark is very easy: Pick one up here Extra Batteries and charging hub Plus, the remote will pair with the phone anyway and you’ll get HD video on your phone, all the intelligent flight features available from the DJI Go app, and the tactile feel and extended range of the controller. The hand grips have slots in them for you to slide your smartphone into. It is really portable since the antennas fold down and the hand grips fold in – you just need to extend the antennas and fold out the grips, and you’re ready to fly. The controls you’ll get with the remote are far more precise and flying the copter becomes far more enjoyable. You could just use the phone for flying if you’re never going to go too far away, but if you’ve played games on your phone, you’ll know that you don’t get very exact controls on a touch screen. You also get the tactile feel of control sticks for more precise flying. The DJI Spark remote controller increases the Spark’s range from the measly 30 meters to a whopping 2 kilometers(in ideal conditions, though realistic range is more like 1.5 km or so). So if you purchased just the Spark when starting out, it’s a good idea to add on these accessories: Remote controller However, just flying with a phone severely limits your flying range – you’re stuck with as far as your mobile’s WiFi radio can go, which is not going to be more than 30-50 meters. You have to fly it with your mobile phone or using the signature hand gestures. The Standalone is just a Spark, one battery, a charger, and propeller guards. The DJI Spark comes in two options – the Spark Standalone and the Spark Fly More Combo. Many people complain that the camera is only 1080p compared to the 4K Mavic and Phantom, but for the size and price, I am more than happy with 1080p too! Necessary upgrades The Spark is TINY, but still has most of what makes DJI drones great – superb GPS, intelligent flight modes, and a great camera. I picked up a DJI Spark recently and I must say it was love at first sight!
